looking for a case. hard/soft

There are so many cases to choose from. Could you recommend one that fits these requirements?
Transparent
Should not cover the three dock pins.
Not too thick so I can still use the google sleeve.
under $10, as most of them are under $5
If you own a case please let me know if it makes it harder to press the power button.
There are a bunch of "Skytouch" cases on meritline for <$4 shipped. Anyone have these?
http://www.meritline.com/newsearch.aspx?category=Cell+Phone+Case&SearchTerm=skytouch+nexus

I just got one from hand held items and the snap on are pieces of crap. I placed a screen protector on it and it made the protector bubble. Wont even snap close

I've been looking for a case as well and so far all I've found is basically junk.

Rubber TPU cases from dcmuggen on ebay are good wont fit in stock case all your gonna find that fit in the sleeve are skins and for those I recommend BSE http://www.bestskinsever.com/cell-phones/smart-phones/google-nexus-one-skin-1.html
Really though to meet your requirements a skin is your only choice if you want great protection though...
Then you cant go wrong here http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
Use code LOVE2010 will save you a couple bucks.

Thanks for the info NexVision.
I was looking at TPU...waiting for a plain transparent version without the check-box pattern.
BSE-- Is this just a scratch protector for the phone? The link above only shows a pic of the bare phone.
The seidio is nice but too expensive for me. $30.

BSE is a skin adheres directly to the phone almost like nothing is there just a thin plastic coating basically.
The TPU cases I as referring to where these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300389191608&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I bought the 5 pack since I have one my girl has one and my buddy has one.
The grey and black are the best IMO with the grey it matches the color of the phone and comes with a good screen protector as well.
Heres some pics of the cases http://picasaweb.google.com/nexvision/Cases?feat=directlink
Since then I got my black one in also and I like it. the red sticker comes right off and the empty space lines right up with the HTC on the back of the phone.

If strictly under $10 you really are looking for some junky stuff.
I mean I have always heard about the almost arriving seidio case that i ordered.
and currently use this one which I'm very pleased with the build quality, fit & accessibility of the phone itself:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_11000561_11000885&products_id=28070
genuinely pleased, hope i will like my seidio when it arrives too

I got a silicone case. It fits the N1 perfect and would protect it pretty good from a drop.

OK, so snap on cases are out.
Leaning towards the grey TPU case now.

I got the case from PDair too.Before I use the product from PDair,I try one from ebay, but the quality seems too worse so, I prefer to buy one in high quality but with higher price.

Galaxy S4 Urban Armor Gear Case Review

If you are a fan of rugged yet slim cases, definitely take a look at the Urban Armor Gear case for the Galaxy S4. The case consists of a shock-absorbing inner rubber layer, and a rigid plastic mid-shell. Each corner has been reinforced with thick rubber to protect your phone from those deadly corner drops. UAG offers the case in four colors and includes a screen protector. At $35, this case contends with the Otterbox Defender and SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor.
In my opinion, this case bests both the Otterbox and SPIGEN in two important areas. First, it's much slimmer that the Otterbox Commuter, while offer similar protection. Second, it has much taller lip than the SPIGEN Slim Armor.

found it cheaper on www(dot)imarineusa(dot)com/urbanarmorgearoutlandcaseforsamsunggalaxys4rustblack(dot)aspx

It looks legit to me, but your mileage may vary. It's only $5 cheaper, so not very suspicious.

Hey thanks for the nice review. Could you elaborate more on the included screen protector? I was leaning towards a glass screen protector and a cheaper case but now I'm leaning towards the UAG and using the included one. I really don't want to pay more than $35 on protection between cases and screen protectors. As far as non-glass screen protectors go how is the UAG one?

Thanks for the review... I think I will be ordering 1!

In for best place to buy from the cheapest possible. Thanks!

I haven't installed it since I have a dummy phone, but it feels like your typical $3 screen protector from Acase or Halo. I've never used a glass screen protector, but I guess it's safe to assume this one isn't as high quality.
I'll try to post a case and screen protector giveaway on our site tomorrow.

Thanks! I bought one yesterday. Shopandriod has them in stock for $29.95 + I had a 15%off coupon and got free shipping. Should be here Fri or Sat!

This really is a great case. Protective, but slim. I have the aero, but I'm really tempted to use that 15% off coupon at Shopandriod to get the white one too.

Do you know what the dimensions are of this case?

Best price

It appears it is since imarine.com has a BBB score of 'A' and a good Reseller Review. They charge 8.95 flat-rate shipping though so it still ends up being about 30 bucks.
I picked mine up off of epal (shopepal.com) for $25 and free shipping. Was a little hesitant at first but they are a US based seller and also have an A+ BBB rating. Should be legit. I can't post links since I just joined but you can find them with an easy search.
Ill follow up when it is delivered to confirm.

Received my White UAG case today from Shopandroid. LOVE IT! Fits great, size is great, perfect case for me.

Anyone have the orange one? I have the Aero, and I may add another color to the mix but I'm torn between the Orange and white. I have a black mist S4

Just ordered the scout color from shop android. $25 and free shipping can't beat it!

Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG...
Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG, here are my opinions.
As far as looks, the Galaxy S4 with Spigen Slim Armor (Metal Slate) looks like something James Bond might slip out of the inside pocket of his tuxedo. The Galaxy S4 with UAG (Scout) looks like something a Navy Seal might wrestle out of a tactical vest during a firefight.
I have dropped my Galaxy S4 while equipped with the Spigen Slim Armor. The fall was from about 4 feet high onto an unpadded hardwood floor. The case landed the top left corner as evidenced by a temporary "bruise" in the TPU but the phone was completely unharmed. However, it was that fall that inspired me to purchase the UAG case.
The UAG is, itself, a very slim case. I was expecting more bulk but was very pleasantly surprised. The increased depth of the UAG is, almost completely, attributed to the protective "lip" that surrounds the screen. Though, I still prefer the Spigen Slim Armor for slipping in and out of my pockets or for when I don't want my Galaxy S4 to look so "tactical", I prefer the UAG for everything else.
One specific trait about the UAG case that makes it a great utility case is that it has an incidental cavity behind the "UAG" logo that's perfect for carrying additional MicroSD cards, if you are one of us who often carry additional cards.

Are they just in there loose and jostling about? Not that I necessarily think that will do anything bad, just curious.

They do slide around a bit in the space. I have a couple ideas to prevent them sliding about but it hasn't been too much of a concern to make it an urgent necessity.

Will this case work with a zagg shield?

What case do you use?

What case is everyone using?
Exactly what the title asks.
This is not a thread for what you think is the best case out there. This thread is for you to post what case/s you use and your experiences with it/them.
It is also to help other users find new cases that they may like.
This thread will also be used for cleaning up the clutter of people starting new threads asking about cases they should use.
Maybe include a link if you think it's good.
Right now, I am naked and so is my phone. Only have a tempered glass protector on it.
As of now, the options will be limited, but this thread will explode as more cases become available.

No case, and no screen protector for me on any of my devices. Have never had a scratch or any other damage to any of my phones.

My Spigen Neo Hybrid Came in today - and I am very impressed with the quality of this case. I had the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S5 and S4 and while I liked the case for those phones, the aluminum shell was kind of flimsy and while it looked good - it was not as durable as I might have liked - in fact the metal around the hole for the battery broke on one of the cases I was using.
After getting the new Neo Hybrid case, it looks and feels more like a premium case - the metal surrounding the case is very solid and has a very premium feel to it. All in all it adds a very nice level of protection without adding bulk - and it keeps that very high end feel that comes with the NOTE 4 outside of the case.
FYI - I have also installed a BODY GLOVE Screen Protector - it took a little getting used to at first - it does not cover the glass from side to side because of the curved edges - but it does cover the viewing area quite well and looks good too.

I got talked into a case at the T-Mobile store. They only had one to choose from, the Samsung S-View Flip Cover. I'm really liking it. The shell is thin and slightly hard, and I can access customized settings through the window without having to open the case.
It was $50, and at first I was going to go back and return it but after having it for a day I'm going to keep it.

You can get 50% off on that case directly from Samsung as a gift for registering your N4 with them. They give you 50% off on all of their accessories priced at $49.99 or less, you can order up to five accessories.

I an still probably going to buy a case just to have some protection before Otterbox gets released. And If sprint store doesn't honor Samsung coupon, then when the online order shows up, I'm returning original back to sprint...

I'm waiting for Seidio to release their Dilex cases. Had one for the note 3 and I love the metal kickstand. I'm hesitant on buying the Spigen Slim/Tough armor because I'm hearing bad things about the plastic kickstand.

Received my Neo Hybrid in Satin Silver, it is really nice, just need phone to put in it

I went with the White Spigen Slim Armor case for now, and may order the Slate or Champagne Gold (or both) later.

Using a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Slate case on my Note 4 right now. Otterbox Commuter case is ordered and on its way. Using Ringke screen protector(from Ringke fusion).

To hold me until I find something more protective that gets substantial positive feed-back, I'm now using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear that I bought during the (now dead?) Spigen early-morning sales for $3.49 + $3.00 shipping. So far so good.

I'm using Spigen Ultra Hybrid case too. But is mint on the grip with clear back.

Before 2010, i used screen protectors and cases, because old smartphones (and PDAs) would scratch easily, not the case anymore, and since 2010 my phones is naked 100%

I keep jumping back and forth between naked and the Grey S-View.

Mostly the Spigen capsule in metal slate, the first of many Spigen cases i liked. And now the Obliq rugged slim case in Grey.

I ordered that one too, waiting for it to arrive in a few days. What I am looking forward to see is a case (like on my Note2) that replaces the back cover and only has a flap that covers the screen. This type of "case" is the thinnest and for me the most interesting. they are not available yet for the Note 4 though. here is a video of what I mean

I'll get my body glove satin case in black color in early of November, but won't be able to photo it with the phone, I'm waiting for samsung in my country release it's bronze gold color. lol
That will take long time

i ordered this one here loved the way it looked and it has a cover for your s-pen and lots of colors http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OZME/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ill have it by the 30th

Cases available UK?

I can't seem to find any in stock. What have people done for the time being?

I bought a quartz case from google and some dirt cheap film screen protectors from ebay until the tempered glass reviews start coming in as people get and fit their's and see if they play nice with the official case.
I will then buy a tempered glass that goes with the official case or the spigen film screen protector when it releases if none do.
I will also get a dbrand skin and use that and the official case on top sometimes.

Still awaiting my case from Google, phone is proving to be slippery without. Scared to take the damn thing outside!

I bought one of these Moko until the Spigen's arrive. I'm still thinking about one from Cover-Up for something a little different.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B015X4Z9BW/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits well and gives great protection. However I'm only using it until this arrives as I love a naked phone: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015YGF478?redirect=true&ref_=ya_st_dp_summary
The 6p is so gorgeous without a case, it's a shame to cover it up.

Ooooh! That's nice.
May snap up one of those myself

Cheers for the replies. Looks like I might as well stick it out with naked and get the spigen case when it's about. Know how you feel @darfbozo, it is a bit scary!

Real wood #WoodBack case...
Our real wood #WoodBack case for the 6P will be ready in the next few weeks. It's in the final stages of production now and will be available via cover-up .com ASAP. Each case is hand-finished in the UK. If you'd like a heads up drop me a PM and I'll let you know as soon as they're ready

Accessories Cases - Which One?

I normally buy an OEM case for my phones and will probably stick to this, however I am always open to change.
So do you normally get a case for your phone? If so which one?
Or do you not bother with a case and just go "vanilla"?
Let me know your thoughts and if you can lets see some pictures of your case if you have one.

I'd prefer going without a case but manufacturers make them so damn slippery I can't risk it.

I always get a case from aliexpress besause it's cheap and does the job. also screeen protectors

I've had my S23+ for just over a week now and this case seems to be the right choice considering price and protection.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPLVT925
Red2Fire Designed for Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Case, 2X[9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector + HD Camera Lens Protector][Military Grade Drop-Proof] Dual Layer Heavy Duty Shockproof Case-Black​
$17.99

For people who love minimal cases, the Spigen Thin Fit for the S23+ is really nice ! Good protection without bulk.
However I have also ordered the "memumi Ultra Slim" on amazon, it looks like something between a "cover" and a case.... I should get it in the weekend.

Caseology Parallax or Ringke Onyx?

I got 2
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BJSNQSMC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
and the official soft silicone one in lavender from the samsung site. Both are pretty good. £34 for a case is pretty steep though for the official one.

I ended up getting a Samsung original black leather case

I went for original samsung leather green case and it is awesome. I got code when buying it on samsung site lowering price of case to 1$ so I took it. Probably wouldnt go for it if I need pay full price, but its definetely best case I had but I always used low price spigen/ aliexpress cases.

I bought the Eiger Avalancha
Eiger Protection - Schweiz
www.eigerprotection.ch
But the Fingerprint is not working so im still searching for a Full body case where fingerprint is working.
Also, the Sound Output is pretty dull, and the on-Phone calls Volume has to me on the Top to hear good. In Terms of Security, you can't get something better. Fully Closed, water-resistant and so on.
Makes the phone little heavier but I don't mind that at all.
